Why are iPhone/iPad apps stored on Mac's now?


on imac have itunes, library, , in there have loads of apps iphone , ipad. in fact take 25gb i've checked. have numerous iphones , ipads in household, sync itunes music, , wirelessly anyway. music have after such.

apps though held on apple servers, e.g. when icloud restore, on iphone/ipad "markers" , redownload, otherwise icloud backups huge. apps held on apple's side, , i'm happy this.

why need store 25gb+ on imac, wasting hdd space, , more crucially more cloud (non apple livedrive/crashplan type) backup space subscribe getting used this.

need regularly update apps on imac, no reason either , update on individual iphones/ipads anyway. can tell me why needed (apart plunging in sync maybe), why have them on imac etc.

 

itunes has stored apps on hard drive long remember (as long had options sync apps computer enabled)...
